JANE FONDA: “Don Lemon is a professional journalist. He and his producer were doing their job."
"We have to speak up. When a red line is crossed like this, we cannot be silent.”
"They arrested the wrong Don.”
DON LEMON: “Last night the DOJ sent a team of federal agents to arrest me in the middle of the night for something I've been doing for the last 30 years — and that is covering the news.”
“I will not be silenced. I look forward to my day in court.”
Richard Gere was banned from the Oscars for 20 years after he denounced China's policies in Tibet while presenting in 1993.
“I didn’t take it particularly personally,” Gere tells Variety. “I didn’t think there were any bad guys in the situation. I do what I do and I certainly don’t mean anyone any harm. I mean to harm anger. I mean to harm exclusion. I mean to harm human rights abuses, but I try to stay as close to where His Holiness comes from… that everyone is redeemable, and in the end, everyone has to be redeemed or none of us [are]. So in that sense, I don’t take it personally.”

This moment isn’t just about one man’s greed, one man’s corruption or one man’s contempt for our Constitution.
It’s about the wealthiest people on earth who, in their insatiable greed, have hijacked our economy & politics to enrich themselves at the expense of working families.
